A group of 30 Logan residents staged a protest outside council offices last week in a bid to get five pornographic books taken off local library shelves.
Protest leader and conservative Catholic lobbyist Bernard Gaynor said the protest was “only the start”.
According to Mr Gaynor, the one hour protest was planned on very short notice.
“We’re very happy with the way it went,” Mr Gaynor said.
“We had people join in who just happened to be walking past.”
Mr Gaynor said he was waiting to hear a response from Council about the future of the books – some of which contain alleged child pornography.
He said he would not rest until he was assured the books would never return to library shelves.
“We will make sure of that,” he said.
Mr Gaynor’s petition to remove the books has over 1,400 signatures.
He said the “court of public opinion” would be the ultimate decider and those who advocate for the alleged porn would be “named and shamed.”
Beyond his feud with Logan City Council, Mr Gaynor has taken his complaints to the books’ distributors – prompting Penguin Books to remove one of the books from sale and all related links from its website.
Queensland Police said the books were under review by the Australian Classification Board.
